umm well when i was getting my gaming desktop i wanted it in my room. i hate it where it is downstairs. i dont get any privacy and its so loud down there and its right next to the tv. my house is like completly open. you can see everything. and i just wish it was in my room. but my stupid parents are like uber overprotective. all because of tham y fucked up school that had to interfere with my private life. they keep saying its bad and shitz because one kid did this and stuff....one kid did it...thats one person not everywone. not everywone is the same:mad:

whats worse is shes never given me a chance. i know why she wont. she thinks ill go on in the middle of the night or watch porn *sigh* she does not trust me and has anywone else faces this problem? i told my mum sone of the benifits of me having my computer upstairs. id also get better online connection. so wat :do i do?:mad:

wat are some ways to change my parents mind!

For me it eventually happened... I eventually got my laptop and I just kept it in my bag when I got home from school, and placed my bag in my room so my laptop just happened to be in my room all the time and they never said a word about it.

If they don't know anything about computers you could also use that as an advantage...

I worked my butt of in school for a 4.0 and asked for a macbook pro and they said yes. It takes time to convince your parents for 3000$:yummy:

I am allowed my computer in my room, I'd go proper beserk if I wasn't :p My foster mum is a bitch at times though and pulls the internet cable out of the hub at 10pm at the latest (usually a little after 9pm) so she clearly doesn't fully trust me with it :/

If you just talk to them about the fact that you'd like a bit of privacy/trust and be allowed it in your room it can't hurt, I fully understand how hard it can be to swing them though!

Show some ways that you can be trusted, not just with computer but in general. It seems like there are some trust issues because she believes that you're like some kid at your school. Show her you're not like that and that you're different and that you can be trusted. It's not going to happen instantly, but if you keep at it, I'm sure you'll be able to get the trust and privacy you ned by the end of a month of two.

What did that one kid do?? Just asking because it hasn't been said.

I guess the best option would be getting a laptop somehow.
Of course a sane talk to your parents sounds great but I doubt they will listen to you.
Maybe you can make a deal that you study hard and they allow you? Maybe that would work out OK?

I would try talking to them (now I am aware that isn't always the best choice) at least it will allow you to sound your opinion and you need to let them know you are serious about being responsible.

Show your parents that you can be trusted!
